Upon informing the three men, Babbit handed the letter to them. Dorrah exchanged glances with Conrad before beginning to read. He then passed it on to Grote, who did the same before passing the letter to Conrad. All three men were in shock after reading the letter. "How could this be?" Dorrah exclaimed. "Why is Edmund begging us for help all of a sudden? Didn't he just double his cultivation recently?" Babbit said, "I think Edmund might have suffered some backlash while cultivating, which affected his foundation. So, his powers didn't improve, and it even ended up decreasing significantly. He now fears nothing more than the four of us ganging up on him." "Well, why don't we take advantage of the situation at hand to do exactly that?" Babbit glanced at Dorrah. "Have you forgotten the City Lord rules? If a rebellion is to arise in a major town, the other City Lords will personally come to weed out the traitors and take them down. Even if we managed to kill Edmund while he's in a
"What's that? Are you doubting me?" "I…" Felix scrambled to kneel. "I mean no disrespect, Master." "It's alright. Get up. I'll show you a perfect Buck Town that I'll have full control over by then. By the way, I heard that Wilbur Penn refused to leave Buck Town. He went to the outskirts instead. I gave him a chance, Felix. Don't fault me for this." "What?" Felix was shocked to hear the news. He thought that Wilbur was out of Buck Town, only to hear that he had stubbornly chosen to stay. Felix sighed, saying a silent prayer for Wilbur in his head. "Don't you worry, Felix. As long as you stay by my side, I promise Wilbur won't be able to hurt you. In fact, he won't be a threat to you at all. "Thank you, Master." Over in the snow, Wilbur took on dozens of opponents consecutively. All the challengers were after his gold coins but turned out to be far too weak. Wilbur ended up killing all of them before changing his appearance when he was about to reach the edge of the forest.
Upon making up his mind, Wilbur continued to cultivate. The energy aura around him continued seeping into his body, strengthening it bit by bit. Despite the fact that Wilbur had entered the mirage dimension on Earth and experienced the increased gravity of the middle dimensional, the energy aura had remained the same as it was on Earth. The energy aura on Earth was still far too mild compared to what it was in the middle dimensions. However, the energy aura in the middle dimensions was not something anyone could withstand. Wilbur had adapted his body to the middle dimensions and thus strengthened his physique and cultivation through doing so. Cultivating in such a state only helped him absorb the energy aura at an even faster pace. At the same time, Babbit frowned as he stood before the Azure Dragon Lake in the Reyne family quarters. He heard that the Four Great Families had sealed off all the energy aura in four sources for their own use. Edmund had looked down on this, but he
The next second, however, the energy aura in Edmund's body began to condense in a single spot rapidly. The faint figure of an azure dragon took shape in his chest, letting out a howl as Edmund's body exploded. … All of Edmund's joints were blown apart. There were huge gashes all over his body as blood gushed out, and Edmund promptly fell unconscious. As he had lost his powers, Edmund's real appearance was exposed as he floated on the lake's surface. Felix saw that and was stuck in a dilemma. He knew that this was the perfect opportunity to kill Edmund, as Felix was still at risk of being killed by him as long as he was alive. However, Edmund was now the head of the Reyne family. Besides, this Edmund was just a clone. Edmund's original body was still alive, and pulling such a move might lead the Four Great Families to seek revenge as well. Felix would be captured eventually, and consequently killed. On top of that, this might drag Wilbur down with him as well. Felix did not w
After two tries, Edmund knew that there was no way he could absorb the energy aura from the Azure Dragon Lake. This meant that the energy aura in his body was of a contrasting nature, thus he would not be able to benefit from the Azure Dragon Lake. However, there was no way he could tell anyone about this. If the other City Lords found out, they would be sure to replace Edmund. Yet if the energy aura in the Azure Dragon Lake remained the same, George and the others would eventually sense something off as well. Thus, Edmund knew that he was going to have to find a cultivator who could absorb the energy aura in the Azure Dragon Lake. Maybe Felix, or that guy named Wilbur Penn. Maybe Edmund could borrow their bodies to get it done. George chuckled. "Taking the place of the Reyne family head, then slowly taking over the other three families to increase your power. It's truly a brilliant idea, Edmund." Edmund heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing those words, glancing at George nervo
"Felix Horne is here?" "Yes, my Lord." "Alright. Send him in." The servant left, and Felix entered the room. He got down on his knees, bowing to Edmund. "There's trouble, Lord Edmund." "At ease. I know what happened." Felix got to his feet. "What should we do now, Master?" "Oh, don't worry." Edmund took out a white porcelain bottle and handed it to Felix. "This contains Immortelle. Put a few drops in Babbit's mouth once you get back, and his body will restore itself." "Yes, Master." Felix returned to the Reyne family grounds, doing as Edmund had told him to in the secret chamber. Babbit's body began to expand in the next second. A wispy aura swam around his body as his joints began to heal themselves. He regained consciousness two hours later. Babbit glanced at Edmund before rising to sit up cross-legged. "You can head out now. I need to tend to my injuries. "Yes, Master." Three months passed by in the blink of an eye, and Babbit emerged from the secret chamber
Felix fell into a dilemma. He knew that Edmund was far from kind, and there was no way he was just genuinely trying to help Wilbur and Felix. Edmund definitely had some other intentions and was trying to trick Wilbur into coming here. At the thought, Felix said carefully, "But Master, Wilbur and I have already separated. I don't know where he is, and I don't think I can find him." "Are you saying that we have a deal as long as I find him?" Felix did not want to say yes but had no choice, so he nodded. Edmund laughed. "We'll go out of town tomorrow. I'll take you to Wilbur, and the two of you will come and work for me in the Reyne family." "Yes, Master." Felix was a little surprised, but there was nothing he could do about it. All he could wish for was that Edmund would not find Wilbur the next day. However, Edmund had already hatched up a plan. The energy aura in the Azure Dragon Lake was dissipating at an alarming rate, which could only mean that there was a cultivator a
"Master!" Felix cried out. He then glared at Babbit, exclaiming, "You killed my master! I'm going to kill you!" Felix's eyes grew bloodshot at the sight of Wilbur kneeling stiffly. A white, glowing armor appeared around him as he charged toward Babbit, aiming a sharp punch toward his face. Babbit raised his right hand. A black vortex appeared in his palm, sucking the energy right out of Felix's attack as he grabbed Felix's fist. "Stop, Felix! You've got the wrong idea here!" "The wrong idea? You killed my master! There's no wrong idea to get here!" Boom! A black energy ball exploded out of Babbit's palm, sending Felix flying. He crashed against the ground heavily, and Babbit glanced at Wilbur coldly. "You were calling this guy your master? I thought I was your master, Felix Horne!" Felix blinked, his mind racing. "Wilbur saved my life, I would be dead without him! What's wrong with me calling him my master?" "I guess you're a man of honor through and through. No wonder
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
